"This is of little use!" Vivien Leigh is an Englishman and really can't understand the twists and turns here.
"It's not true, it's true that it's very annoying." Alan Wilson thought of the book banning policies of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Having had some understanding of them, he was basically certain that most of the books banned in the two dynasties were Part of it is used to summarize it.
There is no doubt that pornographic texts accounted for the vast majority of the ban lists in the two dynasties. In his previous life, Alan Wilson accidentally obtained a catalog of banned books. Almost all of them were about "National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance", "Pin Hua Bao Jian", "The Romantic History of Wushan", "Cao Cao" Lamp monks and the like.
As soon as I look at these names, I have the desire to read the content. I know intellectually that banning the book is wrong, but I still have to ban it for some purposes. This entanglement is consistent with Alan Wilson's current thinking.
Banning the introduction is a fuss, but if we don't ban it, we will inevitably be criticized by these movies without knowing it. So this matter is very confusing.
"How about I make a movie first to divert trouble to the east?" Alan Wilson felt that he could also find some themes, such as Zuo Zongtang's use of troops against the northwest, so that the Chinese would dare to feel the pain of this entanglement.
But after thinking about it, let it go. He has no such obligation. He still needs to think carefully about the types of movies that are prohibited from being introduced.
In the end, Alan Wilson decided to establish the Malayan Radio and Television Administration to specifically deal with these things, perform the duties of an incinerator, and even resist cultural invasion.
After returning home and recalling the Hong Kong movies in my mind, Alan Wilson really found a way to raise the bar that seemed feasible. In historical Hong Kong films and dramas, ten actors in the two rows on the left and right dare to be called an army of 100,000 even if they are not satisfied with the camera. This is because Hong Kong films have to compromise due to cost reasons.
He tried to think of a way from this point of view. There are no big scenes in film and television dramas, let alone that he is making a historical film. As for the size of the war group performance, it should not be less than 500 people, so that should be fine. Exceptions can be made for other types of movies. After all, Alan Wilson doesn't want to strangle the martial arts genre directly at the source, so he can give it a life.
He seems to be watching Hong Kong’s martial arts movies and Japan’s unique samurai movie Wo Long Feng Chu. If the development of martial arts movies is affected due to his policies, he may feel guilty in his heart.
The issue of scale can only be learned from the memory of *** operations in the mind. Although many of ***'s actions are used to complain, the existence of this department still plays a great role, which is undeniable.
As the Imperial Commissioner of Malaya, Alan Wilson felt that it was not too much to borrow the successful experiences of other countries to complete his work.
After all, this is not the first time he has practiced magic skills backwards.
Similar work cannot only deal with one country, but of course Indonesia, which is close at hand, must also be included. From a historical perspective, the current territory of Indonesia is the core and historical roots of the Malay people. In this regard, Indonesia deserves more vigilance than a certain major country.
The reality was that there were two main ethnic groups in British Malaya, and Alan Wilson had to deal with both groups using one trick. You must never do anything to target one person and let one go.
While perfecting the countermeasures, Alan Wilson continued to talk business with the distinguished guests. As he had said before, he wanted to sell some small islands with beautiful scenery in return for the help of several movie queens this time.
"I'm just kidding. If you sell the island and London traces it, how will you explain it?" Hedy Lamarr shook her head when she heard the old story of Alan Wilson was brought up again. She didn't want this man to be criticized at home.
"How do you explain it? Senator Churchill exchanged such a strategically important military base for fifty junk warships, and no one asked him to give an explanation." Alan Wilson was confident that even after so many years, he mentioned this matter He was still furious, so he exchanged these priceless treasures for fifty pieces of tattered warships.
"Alan, after all, Mr. Churchill was the British Prime Minister at the time. It would be very risky for you to do the same thing." Ingrid Bergman also shook her head. At this time, she was still not moved by the man's generosity.
Although buying an island is not unattractive to her, and being a leisurely island owner is also very exciting, she is not willing to let Alan Wilson risk being criticized.
"There are thousands of islands in British Malaya!" Alan Wilson said in a nonchalant manner. Originally, there were none, but in this time and space, when Britain was helping the Netherlands, they took advantage of the fact that Indonesia was not yet independent and took away many islands. Shore Islands.
Together, these islands made British Malaya a Thousand Island Colony. Of course, many of the islands were near the Strait of Malacca. Alan Wilson could not sell these islands. Their status was too important.
But there are many islands where the location is not so sensitive and the scenery is very good. He is prepared to buy a good price this time.
"How about I sell you one of the islands in Pangkor Island? Here are the photos." Alan Wilson took out the photos of Pangkor Island. In fact, this was unnecessary because several women had already been there some time ago.
"Pangkor Island!" Vivien Leigh was still deeply impressed by this island and said, "But I am still worried, do you have the power to sell colonial islands?"
"To be honest, no, but we can discuss it with Whitehall, so the price is definitely not cheap. But as a man, I won't let you suffer. I can help you save money through the accounts and hand it over to the Whitehall Administration Office. Find a way." Alan Wilson paused at this point, "I hope that after I successfully obtain London's understanding, you can use your influence to make this matter known to the rich in the United States."
"If London thinks that selling some uninhabited islands can increase fiscal revenue, if there is a precedent, you will sell islands on a large scale to rich people?" Vivien Leigh thought for a moment and confirmed in a guessing tone that Alan Wilson's purpose was It's not like this.
"Yes and no, what is for sale is not a small island in British Malaya. There are many islands in the hands of the British Empire. Not all of them are in Asia and Africa, there are also some in the Americas." Alan Wilson nodded and said, "Actually, For Americans, privately purchasing islands is no longer news, as wealthy Americans have been doing this for a long time."
Of course, the price of tour guides in different regions is different. For example, in the Great Lakes region on the border of Canada and the United States, many islands are not as expensive as a house in a nearby town. The appeal of this kind of island to the rich is also limited. After all, the pollution in the Great Lakes area is quite serious.
For the wealthy class in the United States, it is best for the island they want to buy not far from the mainland of the United States, with all the sun and beaches available, so there are not many choices. Caribbean islands are the favorites of wealthy Americans.
In later generations, the transaction price was more than tens of millions of dollars. After the purchase, the island would also have luxury villas, swimming pools, docks and other facilities. Building these facilities was a huge expense.
Therefore, the final price is often an astronomical figure for ordinary people. Buying an island is only the beginning of the cost budget, and the construction of catering supplies and tourist accommodation on private islands is the larger expenditure.
If the island has not yet been developed, it will be necessary to build a garbage disposal system, a water supply system and a power generation system, as well as build a deep-water dock or a private airport. Buying an island is just the beginning, and maintaining the island is the bulk of the expenditure.
The UK still has a large number of islands in its hands, but not all of them are suitable for sale. For example, if one of the islands in Mauritius is sold, it is estimated that only wealthy Indians will buy it, perhaps with the support of Nehru.
But there are still many islands in good locations that can be sold, such as some British colonies in the Mediterranean, to put it bluntly, islands like Cyprus.
Alan Wilson considered that when the British later evacuated, almost all of these places were let go. It would be better to take advantage of the current good situation to find some interested private sellers and cash out.
Then start with the British Malaya he administered and set an example for other colonies. After these islands are sold, the sovereignty of course cannot be changed. Otherwise, if anyone buys them and establishes an island country, the whole world will not be in chaos.
Selling the island to a wealthy private person, as far as Alan Wilson is concerned, is a matter of killing two birds with one stone. At this time, there is no need to worry about the face of the British Empire. As long as we make money, there is no harm in selling some uninhabited islands.
Of course, Hedy Lamarr doesn't need to understand these ideas so clearly. She probably knows that Alan Wilson is prepared to take both public and private interests into account, and they will never suffer.
"One hundred thousand dollars is not a small amount of money." Hedy Lamarr once used her beauty to raise tens of millions for the United States to raise funds for the war, but her salary was not high.
"I'll pay for the bulk of it!" Alan Wilson said with an expression that said, "I won't let you suffer. I definitely can't let the empire suffer, so I will find a way to get the money from the Malayan colony. I must come up with one." The high price made Whitehall feel that selling the island was actually a good idea."
"Then we can't make it difficult for you, you have helped a lot!" Ingrid Bergman hesitated, "I also think Pangkor Island is very beautiful, just like Vivian said, we will go out One hundred thousand dollars.”
"If you can let many upper-class people in the United States know that Britain has a precedent of selling islands to private individuals. It is much more important than the price of one hundred thousand dollars." Alan Wilson rejected the idea of several people paying the full price and proposed a The alternative is to let people with real purchasing power go.
In essence, the role of Alan Wilson, the commissioner of British Malaya at this time, is infinitely similar to Berezovsky and others in the late Soviet Union, who were eyeing the legacy of the British Empire, except that the Soviet Union had six major oligarchs. The British Empire had more than twenty overseas commissioners at this time.
